Trawlwoolway artist Lola Greeno’s delicate Mapili rina necklace comprises of multiple strings of lustrous green maireener shells collected from the waters around Flinders and Cape Barren islands off the north-east coast of Tasmania. Greeno’s shell necklaces represent an art form passed down through generations and speak directly to place while drawing attention to environmental change that threatens the fragile natural ecosystem where these shells are found.
